What is a gift from Martha's "Secret Garden"?

[]] Francishhyson Bernett

. She looked at the key for a long time. She turned it over and looked at it. As I said earlier, her child has never taught her to get allowed or ask adults. For this key, she only thinks whether it leads to the locking garden. Can she find where the door is? She may open the door, see what is inside the wall, and what are the old rose trees. Essence Because it was closed for many years, she wanted to see it even more. It seems that it must be different from other places, and there must be strange things in ten years. In addition, if she likes it, she can go in every day and close the door behind her back. N
is buried underground. This idea made her very happy.

Liming like that, she is all alone, in a mysterious house in hundreds of tight -tight houses. Wake up. There is no doubt that the fresh, powerful and pure air on Muer has something to do with this. Just like Feng gave her appetite, stirred her blood with the wind, and the same thing stirred her mind. She is always too hot in India, too gorgeous, too weak, and has no strength to care about anything, but here, she starts to care about and is willing to try. She already felt less "awkward", although she didn't know why.

. She put the key in her pocket and walked along the aisle. Except for herself, there seems to be no one here, so she can walk slowly, look at the wall, or it is better to say, looking at the long -standing Ivy vine on the wall. Ivy is confusing. No matter how carefully she sees it, she can't see anything except her dense and smooth dark green leaves. She is quite disappointed. She paced on the aisle and watched the treetops inside, so a awkward momentum came up again. This is really stupid. She thought, but she couldn't get in at her. When she returned to the house, she put the key in her pocket. When she decided to go out, she always brought the key, so that once she found the hidden door, she was ready at any time.

This Mrs. Mo Damuk allowed Martha to spend the night in her farmhouse, but she returned to work in the morning. Her face was red, and her spirit was very good.

"I get up at four," she said, "Ah! Muer is good -looking, the birds are up, the rabbits are jumping around, and the sun is rising. I am not going all the way. A one. The man took me for a while, and I was happy. "

. She filled all kinds of happy stories that happened in the day. Her mother was glad to see her, and they finished all the roasted food and washing. She even made dough cakes for each child and added brown sugar.

"They come back from Muer, I let the cakes hot. They are so happy that they are so happy. We Dicken said that our farmhouses are willing to live for the king. "

In the evening they sat around the fire, Martha and her mother patch the broken clothes, Sewing socks, Martha told them a little girl from India, and the person who had served her was Martha's "black", and always said that she would not wear socks by herself.

"Ah! They really like to listen to you," Martha said, "They want to know everything about black people, when you come when you come. "

Mary thought a little.

"I have to tell you a lot before your ride rest next time," she said, "So you can say more. I dare to say that they want to listen to the elephant, riding Camel, and the officers went out to hunt and hunt for the tiger. "

" My God! "Martha exclaimed happily," This must make them make everything. You really do this. Is Miss? This is like a wild animal exhibition in Yorkshire, which we heard. "

" India and Yorkshire are very different, "Mary said slowly because she was in Think about it carefully, "I never thought of this. Do Dicken and your mother like to listen to you about me?"

"Of course, our family Dicken's eyes are almost falling out. ，变得那么圆，”玛莎回答，“不过妈妈不乐意你好像就自己一个人。她说，'克兰文先生没有给她找个家庭教师，或者保姆?'我说，'没有，不过Mrs. Mo Dhark said that when Mr. Calai remembered it, she said that he might not be able to remember for two or three years. '"

" I don't want tutors. " Mary said hardly.

"But your mother said that you should learn to read books at this time. There should be a woman to take care of you. She also said," So, Martha, you just think about what he is in such a big place It feels like a person wandering everywhere, no mother. You have to do your best to make her happy. 'She said so, I said I will. "

Mary looked at her for a long time and calmly. Essence

"You really make me happy," she said, "I like to listen to you."

Martha was out of the room and held something with both hands when I came back. , Put under an apron.

"What do you think," she grinned happily, "I brought you a gift."

"A gift!" Call. A farmhouse is full of fourteen hungry people, how can he give a gift!

"A man rides a car through Muer," Martha explained, "He is in our house Stop at the door. He has pots and pans, mixed, but his mother has no money to buy anything. When he was about to leave, our family Elizabeth Ellen shouted, 'Mom, he has a rope jumping, his hand is red and blue Yes. 'Mom suddenly shouted,' Hey, stop, sir! How much money? 'He said' Two Tools', her mother started to explore in her pocket, she said to me, "Martha, you are a kind of Good girlfriend, I have always given me the salary. I have to make a penny into four petals, but I have to take out two tooth from the inside and buy the child's root skipping rope. 'She bought one, here is. "

. She took out the skipping rope under the apron and showed it proudly. It was a strong and slender rope. The handle of both ends was carrying red and blue bars, but Mary Lennox never saw the skipping rope. She stared at it confused.

"What is this for?" She asked curiously.

"What do you do!" Martha said loudly, "Do you mean that India does not skip rope, because their elephants, tigers, camels have all! Do this, look at it. "

. She ran to the center of the room, holding one handle in one hand, and started jumping, jumping, and jumping. Mary turned from a chair to stare at her. The old portrait The strange faces in it seemed to be staring at her, pondering that this ordinary small mud legs had such a thick face under their eyelids. But Martha did not notice them at all. The interests and curiosity on Miss Mary's face made her very happy. She kept a number, until a hundred.

"I can jump more at first," she stopped and said, "I was over 500 when I was twelve, but I was not as fat at that time, and I often practiced at that time. . "

Mary got up from the chair and felt he gradually became excited.

"Looks good," she said, "Your mother is a good person. Do you think I can jump like that one day?"
"Martha encouraged her to hand over the skipping rope." At first you can't jump a hundred, but as long as you practice, it will increase. This is what my mother said. She said, 'For her, there is no better than skipping rope skipping rope. It's the most reasonable in the child toy. Let her jump into the fresh air, stretch her hands and feet, and let her hands and feet grow a little. There is no energy on hands and feet. She is not so dexterous, but she likes it very much and is unwilling to stop.

"Put on your clothes and run out." Martha said, "Mom said I must tell you as much as possible outside the house, even if it is a bit rainy, as long as you wear warm and warm "

Mary put on a jacket and put the skipping rope on his arms. She opened the door and went out, suddenly remembered something, and turned back slowly.

"Martha," she said, "That's your salary. In fact, I used your two tooth. Thank you." She said stiffly, because she is not used to thanks, and she will not be able to thank others, she will not be able to thank others, and she will not be able to thank others. Note what others do for her. "Thank you," she said, stretched out her hands because she didn't know what to do other than that.

Martha held her hand slightly, it seemed that she was not used to such a thing. Then she laughed.

"Ah! Na is a weird man, like an old lady." She said, "If it is our family Elizabeth Allen, I will kiss me."

Mary Even more stiff.

"Do you want me to kiss you?"

Martha laughed again.

"No, it's not me." She replied, "If it is not such a temper, I am afraid that you will want to kiss me. But you don't want to. R n
Miss Mary felt a little awkward when she went out. The people in Yorkshire seem to be strange, and Martha has always been a mystery. At the beginning, she hated her very much, but she couldn't. Jumping rope is a baby. She counted, jumped, jumped, and counted until her cheeks flushed. She has never felt so interesting since her birth. The sun is shining, and a breeze blows -it is not a rough wind, but a pleasant gust of gust, with the fresh smell of the new soil. She jumped around the fountain garden, jumped along the aisle, and jumped back. In the end, she jumped into the vegetable garden and saw Ji Yuanben who talked to his knowledgeable bird while digging the ground. She jumped towards him along the road, and he raised his head and looked at her curiously. She couldn't take it for him to notice her. She wanted him to see her skipping rope.

"Ouch!" He screamed, "My God. I'm afraid you are still a young man, I'm afraid you are the blood of children in your blood vessels, not sour milk. You must have your face. The son is popular, otherwise I don't call Ji Yuanben. I didn't believe that you can do this. "

" I never skipped it before. "Mary said," I just started. I only started. I only just started. I only. Can jump to twenty. "

" You continue to practice, "said," You have stayed with people who don't believe in God, your body is good, you can skip the rope. Look at it how to see it. Observe you, "he threw his head to know more," Yesterday it followed you. Today, you have to follow. It can swear what to skip the rope. "If you don't pay attention to it, one day your curiosity will send your life."

Mary surrounded all gardens and jumped around the orchard. Take a few minutes to rest. Finally, she came to her special walkway and decided to try whether to finish the whole process. This road was so long, she got up slowly, but she didn't jump halfway, she was hot and tight, and was forced to stop. She didn't care too much because she had already counted to thirty. She stopped and made a pleasant laugh, where she looked at it, knowing that the bird swayed with the long Ivy vine. It just followed her and asked her in a short cry. Mary jumped towards it, and felt that every time she jumped, there was a heavy object in her pocket. When she saw Zhizhu, she laughed again.

"You refer to the key yesterday," she said, "You should give me the door today, but I don’t believe you know!"
The swaying Changchun vine branches flew up the wall, opened the beak, and made a cute tremolo, so as to show off. There is nothing more admirable than showing off knowing more than showing off -they are showing off anytime, anywhere.

Mary Lennox heard a lot of magic from the story of her nanny. She always said that it was magic that happened at that moment.

The cute little gusts are swept over along the aisle, which is stronger than other gusts. It is enough to shake the branches, and it is even more than a puff that is not trimmed on the wall. Mary had already approached to know more birds. Suddenly the gust of gusts brushed some fluffy Ivy vine strips aside, and Mary jumped more suddenly and grabbed what. She did this because she saw something below -a circular handle, which was covered by the leaves hung on it. This is the door handle.

. She put her hand under the leaves and pushed the leaves and leaves aside. Ivy vines are so dense, almost woven into a loose curtain, swinging autumn, and some are already covered with wood and iron. Mary's heart began to beat, and happiness and excitement trembled slightly. Knowing that Gengbird kept singing, the sound rolled gentlely, her head was crooked to one side, and she seemed to be as excited as her. What is it under her, square, iron, her fingers have a hole in the top?

that is the lock on the door that has been closed for ten years. She reached out to her pocket , Draw out the key and find it in the lock hole. She inserted the key and twisted. It is enough to have two hands, but it does turn.

Then she took a deep breath and watched whether anyone came on the side of the walkway. No one came, it seemed that, she took a deep breath, because she couldn't help it. She grabbed the swinging Changchun vine curtain back and pushed the door backwards. It's right.

In the next door, closed it behind her, leaned against the door, looked around, and accelerated her breathing, due to excitement, surprise and happiness.

The most weird house where everyone has lived

This is the most beautiful and mysterious place that anyone imagines. The high wall that locks it covers the branches of climbing roses without leaf, and the branches are tangled. Mary Lennox knows that these are roses because she saw many roses in India. The whole ground is covered with brown brown brown -killed, and a cluster of shrubs grow in the brown. If they are still alive, they must be roses. There are so many roses on the trunk, and the branches spread very well, like small trees. There are other trees in the garden. One of the most strange and lovely reasons for this place is the climbing rose full of these trees. Their long vines drooped into gently swinging curtains, twisted together everywhere, or twisted to a far -reaching branch. Rose branches

climbing from this tree to that tree, causing themselves to make good -looking bridges. There are no leaves or roses on the branches. Mary does not know that they are dead or alive, but their slim gray -brown branches and small branches are watched as a cigarette cover. , Even on the brown grass -they fall from the fastening and spread on the ground. It is the smoky entanglement between these trees that make everything look mysterious. Mary has long thought that it must be different from other gardens that have not been abandoned for a long time, which is indeed different from anywhere she saw in her life.

"It's really quiet here!" She murmured, "Really quiet!"

Then she stopped and listened to the quietness at this moment. Knowing that the bird has already flew to its treetops, at this moment, it is like the world around it. It didn't even have a drum, motionless, looking at Mary.

"No wonder here is so quiet," she murmured again, "I am the first person to speak here in ten years."
Show away, as if she was worried about who would wake up. Fortunately, she had grass under her feet, and her footsteps were silent. She walked under the gray arch between a tree, like a fairy tale, she looked up at the four sprinkled branches of the arch. "I want to know if they are all dead," she thought, "Is it a dead garden? I hope not."

If she is Ji Yuanben, she can observe with observation , Different from whether the trees are alive, but she can only see brown gray branches and branches, without any trace of leaf buds, even if it is big.

. She was already in this wonderful garden, and she could come in from the door under Ivy at any time. She felt that she found a new world that belongs to her.

In the four walls, the sun is bright, and the towering blue sky is more brighter and gentle than Mussewaster Manor. Knowing that the bird flew down from the treetops, sometimes jumped around her, and sometimes followed her to the tree from this tree. It was very busy, and she looked very busy, as if she was a tour guide for her. Everything was so strange and silent. She seemed to be far away from anyone, but somehow she didn't feel lonely. The only thing that troubles her is whether she wants to know if these roses are dead, or some may be alive. When the weather is warmer, Ye and Lei may be president. She is unwilling to be a dead garden. If it is a vibrant garden, how wonderful it should be, what kind of roses will be made on the four sides!

. She jumped on her arm when she came in. After she walked around for a while, her heart was I think she can skip the rope around the entire garden, and stop when I want to see things. There seems to be grass diameter here, and there are gazebo -like evergreen plants in one or two corners, which contain stone benches, or moss -covered tall stone vases.

. She came to the second evergreen plant gazebo and stopped. There was a flower bed in it, and she seemed to see something emerging from the black soil -some pointed gray -green small dots. She remembered what I said, kneeling down to check them.

"Yes, this is a small point of president, maybe the red flower, or the snow Hualien, or the dry daffodil." She murmured.

. She bent over and approached them tightly, smelling the fresh smell of moist soil. She likes this flavor very much.

"Maybe there are other other places growing out of other places," she thought, "I want to see the entire garden."

Walk. She walked slowly and stared at the ground. In the flower bed of the old days, in the grass, she waited for her to walk around and worked hard. She found that many pointed gray green dots became very excited again.

"This garden is not too dead," she shouted softly to herself. "Even if the roses are dead, there are other things to live."
n She saw that some places were too deep, and the green was squeezed to the foreign minister. She felt that they did not have enough space to grow. She searched everywhere, found a very sharp wood, kneeled down to dig grass and weed, until she made a clean open space around the green point.

"Now they can breathe," After finishing the first place, she thought, "I want to do a lot of them. I want to do everything I can. Time, I can come tomorrow. "

It's from here, digging soil and weeding, she couldn't help herself. She walked from one flower bed to another On the grass under the tree. The exercise made her get rid of her jacket first, and then the hat. Unknowingly, she smiled at the grass and gray -green over there.

The is extremely busy. It was glad to see gardening on its own real estate. It is often elusive. Where there is a garden, all kinds of delicious things are turned out with soil. Now there is a new variety of animals, which is less than half of Ji Yuanben, but knows as soon as he enters his garden.

Miss Mary has been dried in her garden until she dinner. In fact, she remembered it late. She put on a jacket and hat, picked up the skipping rope, and couldn't believe that she had done it for two or three hours. She has always been very happy. More than a dozen and dozens of gray -green little dots appeared in the clear place, and they were twice as angry when they were suffocating them.

"I am going back in the afternoon." She thought, looking around her new kingdom, saying to the trees and roses, as if they could hear her.

Then she ran across the grass lightly, slowly pushed away the old door, and slipped out of the Changchun vine. Her face was so red, her eyes were so bright, and she had so many meals. Martha was very happy.

"Two pieces of meat, two parts of the mate pudding!" She said, "Ah! I want to tell my mother the role of skipping rope to you, she will be happy."

When Miss Mary dug with a sharp wood, she was surprised to dig a white root like onion. She put it back and carefully patted the soil. At this time, she wondered if Martha could tell her what it was.

"Martha," she said, "What is the white root like onion?"

"That's the ball root," Martha replied, "Many spring The blooming flowers grow from the inside. The small ones are snowy lotus, safflower, large ones, longevity flowers, dry water fairy. The biggest is lily and purple puppet. Ah! Very beautiful. Dicken is in our house. There are a lot of gardens in the garden. "

" Do you recognize all the flowers? "Mary said, a new idea occupies her heart.

"Our Di Ken can make the brick walkway grow flowers. Mom said he can speak out things from the ground."

"" " Can the ball root for a long time? If no one cares, can they live for many years? "Mary asked anxiously.

"They take care of themselves," Martha said, "This is why the poor can afford it. If you do not disturb them, most of them will grow under the ground for a lifetime and plant new ones new ones. Xiao Miao. There is a place in the public forest area, there are thousands of snow lotus. When spring comes, it is the most beautiful scene in Yorkshire. No one knows when it was planted. "

"I hope it is spring now," Mary said, "I want to see everything growing in England."

. She finished her dinner and went to her favorite seat. Essence

"I wish -I hope I have a small shovel," she said.

"What do you want to do?" Martha laughed and asked, "You want to dig the ground? I have to tell my mother too."
n Measured it. If she intends to keep her secret kingdom, she must be careful. She did not destroy it, but if Mr. Cran Wen knew that the door was opened, he might be scary and scared. He changed the new key and locked the garden forever. She really can't stand it.

"This place is big and deserted," she said slowly, as if she turned things over and over in her mind. "The house is deserted, the yard is deserted, and the garden is deserted. I have never done much in India, but there are more people who can watch it -indigenous soldiers are marching -sometimes band performances, my nanny tells me stories. I can’t find someone here, except you, except you History of Ji Yuanben. You have to work, Ji Yuanben does not often talk to me. I want me to have a small shovel. I can find a place like him to dig a pit. If he is willing to give me some seeds, maybe I can Create a small garden. "

Martha's face lit up.

"Yes!" She yelled, "Isn't it that mother said that? She asked, 'There are so many empty places in that big place, why not give her a little bit of their own land, even if they are She did not plant anything, so she planted some celery and small carrots? She will keep racing all the time and be happy. 'This is her original words. "

" Really? " Mary said, "She knows so many things, isn't it?"

"Ah!" Martha said, "Just like what she said: 'A woman with a big twelve children knows a one, in addition to knowing a one who knows a one, know one knows one. , Two and Three, I also know something else. Children let you understand that it is as good as counting. '"

" How much does a sh for a shovel -a small one? "Mary ask.

"Well," Martha's answer is deeply thoughtful. You can use it in a precedent. "

" There are more than two orders in my wallet, "Mary said. My wife gave me some money from Mr. Calai. "

" He remembers you so much? "Martha exclaimed.

"Mrs. Modlak said that I have a precedent every week (1 premise = 12 poop = 1/20 pounds) zero. She gives me every Saturday. I don't know how to spend."

"My God! That's a treasure," Martha said, "You can buy anything you want in the world. The rent of our farmhouse is only one and one -third of the tenor, I just have to sell my eyes to get my eyes to earn enough. I just remembered it, "she put her hand on her hip.

"What?" Mary said anxiously.

"There are wrapped flower seeds in the shop in Switt Village, a pack of orientation, our family Dicken knows which one is the best, how to grow. Witt Village has been many times for fun. Do you know how to describe the letter of the printed body one by one? "Asked suddenly.

"I know how to write a connection." Mary replied.

Martha shook his head.

"We will only recognize the printing body. If you can describe the printing body, we can write a letter to him and ask him to buy the gardening tools and seeds." n
"Oh! You are really a good person!" Mary shouted, "You are, really !! I don't know you are so kind. I know I can try to describe the printing body. Let us ask Mrs. Mo Dellak I want a pen, ink, and some paper. "

" I have some, "Martha said," I buy it, you can draw a little letter to your mother on Sunday. Out of the room, Mary stood by the fire and twisted her small hands to satisfy her.

"If I have a shovel," she whispered, "I can soften the soil and dig out weeds. It will not be dead at all -it will survive. "

. She did not go out that afternoon because Martha took the paper pen and ink. Go, she entered the kitchen, and Mrs. Mo Dhark was there to tell her what to do, so Mary felt that she had waited for a long time before she came back. Next, the letter to Dicken is a serious work. There are very few things to teach Mary, because her tutors do not like her too much. She is not particularly good, but she actually finds that she can describe the letter if she works hard. This is the letter awarded her by Martha:

"My dear Dicken:

Miss has a lot of money. Can you go to Swate Village to buy some gardening tools for her and a set of flower beds. Choose the most beautiful and easier to use, because she has never done it before, she lives in India, there are different there. Convert my love to my mother and the rest of you. Miss Mary wants to tell me more so that you can hear elephants, camels and gentlemen to hunt the lions and tigers next time.

The sister who loves you, Martha Fiber Solby. "

" We put the money in the envelope, I asked the meat shop to take the carriage. It's a good friend of Denken. "Martha said.

"How can we get it after the Dicken bought it?"

"He will send it to you by himself. He will like to come here all the way."

"Oh!" Mary exclaimed, "Then I want to see him! I never thought I could see Dicken."

"Do you want to see him? ? "Martha suddenly asked because Mary seemed so happy.

"Yes, I think. I have never seen a fox and crow's boy. I really want to see him very much." It seems like she remembers something. "Think about it," she shouted, "Think of me, I just forgot; I originally told you the first thing this morning was. I asked my mother -she said she was going to ask Mo Delak herself Mrs. "

" You mean-- "Mary started to say.

"I said on Tuesday. Ask if she can bring you to our house someday, taste my mother's hot oat cake, add butter, and drink a glass of milk."

Him seems to happen within a day. Think about it, pass through Muer in the blue sky in the day! Think about it, go to a farmhouse that accommodates twelve children!

"Does she think Mrs. Momok can let me go ? "She asked quite nervously.

"Of course, she thinks she will. She knows how neatly her mother is, how clean she is."

"If I went there, I went , I can see your mother, and Dicken, "Mary said, thinking about it repeatedly, I like this idea very much. "She is not the same as the Indian mother."

. The labor in the garden and the excitement in the afternoon finally moved her to peace and meditation. Martha stayed until afternoon tea, but they sat comfortably in the quiet and rarely spoke. But before Martha went downstairs to take the tea tray, Mary asked a question.

"Martha," she said, "Is that dishwaste's toothache again today?"

Martha must have gently moved.

"What makes you ask like this?" She said.

"Because I have been waiting for you for a long time, I opened the door to the corridor to see you. I heard the crying far away, just like the other night in our house. There is no wind today, so you don't think it will be the sound of wind. "

" Ah! "Martha said uneasily," You must not walk everywhere in the corridor and overheard. I will be angry, I don't know what he can do. "

" I didn't eavesdrop, ", Mary said," I'm just waiting for you -then hear it. There are three times. "

" My God! Mrs. Mo Dellak is ringing, "Martha said, she almost ran out of the room.

"This is the weird house that anyone has lived," Mary thought fell asleep, her head hanging on the pillow on the hand armrest chair. Fresh air and skipping rope made her so comfortable, she fell asleep.
